While there are ''gulma'' variants like ''paittika'' and ''kaphaja gulma'' caused by an excess of ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' respectively, it is essentially a ''vata'' disorder. ''Sannipatika gulma'' is caused due to the vitiation of all the three ''doshas''. Since abdominal organs have ''mamsadhatu'' as the main component, all the ''siragranthi'' (glandular/tumorous) types of ''srotodushti'' (vitiation of channels carrying body components) of abdominal viscera have also been covered under ''gulma''. This chapter also covers obstruction and inflammation of viscera having no swelling.
